Fashion and luxury industry and of course how to pronounce them properly

Brands dominate the car watch luxury and fashion industry

however

Sometimes in conversation when they come up people are not sure how to pronounce them and you hear all kinds of variations

often the reason is that the country's

Origin is not the country you're from and so it all gets tangled up that stirs up the question

Should you pronounce something in the original way?

It was meant to be said or you adapted to your local surroundings

The reality is no matter how you say it people will judge you for it

If you say catchy instead of Cartier

some people may look at you as an arrogant prick on the other hand if you say Cartier instead of khaki

People may think of you as a peasant
